	Quoth the raven, "Eat my shorts!"

	"Nevermore" in the title should be lowercase and in quotations.

	I love this poem.

	I smacked myself in the head when I saw that I missed "Lenore."

	this is one of my fave poems

	damnit. I guessed "Forevermore", completely sure it was in the poem, typing it in on at least three separate occasions. and what pops up as an answer? 'evermore'. Grrr.

	D'oh. Very unhappy that I missed one, but it's only used once. I love Poe. His essay on how he allegedly came up with The Raven is pretty interesting from a literature nerd standpoint.

	I used to have this memorized. So, not anymore.

	I tried to memorize this in high school, only made it as far as "explore"

	more counts along with nevermore, but not evermore?

	Apperently Poe originally wanted to use a parrot. Atleast thats what my Lit. book tells me

	I read that essay too, I think it's a bunch of bogus, but it's interesting nonetheless. Quoth the server: "404"

	I had this essay memorized for a public speaking class... but quoth this quiz, "not anymore."

	Catherine_F:	Nov 9th, 2009 at 13:21 GMT	8 points
	Do you think Poe went through the same thought process as Sporclers who don't know the poem - "Hmm, what else rhymes? Chore? Spore? Ooh, adore!"?

	bubble:	Nov 12th, 2009 at 19:53 GMT	-1 points
	I know Poe used it as a rhyme in the poem, but "o'er" is not an actual rhyme of any of the words listed here. It is a slant rhyme at best. For it to be a rhyme, "o'er" would have be pronounced like "ore."

	I couldn't get The End of the Raven, by Poe's cat, as discovered by Henry Beard in Poetry for Cats, out of my mind. One night as the rain was slanting I awakened to the ranting of the man I catch mice for...

	I love this poem, and at one point in my life had it pretty much memorized. Not so much anymore, I kicked myself for missing a few of those, especially evermore. Poe did write some great stuff, might have to pick up my book of his complete works again.

	once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary / on Sporcle quizzes unto which my brain I did outpour / I came across a quiz on rhyming, all the while the timer timing / as I racked my brain as to achieve the highest score / and when the answers were revealed, myself I did abhor / as for the quiz, I'll rate it 4.

	skydozer:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 01:11 GMT	-2 points
	so i just get out mu copy of the raven and type in ending words? Is that about it?

	mestdi:	Dec 26th, 2009 at 09:21 GMT	1 point
	Oof, that was difficult. I need to read the directions more carefully- definitely kept typing in "nevermore."

	ashman:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 22:30 GMT	0 points
	Thanks to The Simpsons and the Alan Parsons Project song "The Raven," I did well on this. I typed in "before" and "shore," however, and for some reason it did not accept them. :(

	I thought to myself "no way is 'store' in there", but I was stumped, so I typed it in on a lark.
